The string that came with the product is that very thin string so I switched it to the better quality one. I felt that the string would break. So I didn’t want to risk it. Super easy to put together and the outcome is just what I wanted.Cute once you spend a ton of time putting together, but not worth it. They ripped very easily.Does not come put together. Spent a ridiculous amount of time putting tissue paper pompoms together then onto the string only for them to slide into the middle of the string & bunch up at the bottom of the string, so then had to spend time taping (looked ugly) each pompom to space them out on the string so it hung nicely. Just don't bother with this decoration. Too Labor intensive for the final product.Just don’t. It’s not assembled and a pain to do. Save your self the time and pick something else . I ended up just throwing it away.Total junk. Had to assemble the tassels yourself. As in depressed the actual tassels fold in half and tie to the string.recived wrong iten was supposed to be tassle recieved pom poms???toolate to send back due to wedding dateToo hard to put together. Very time consuming and cheap! Would not recommend or or buy again.
